*.Dat file unsupported in TMP. help please!

[bleeky99]

I used to be able to open dat files in TMP and encode them, now it wont let me, I just get the "unsupported file can not open" message. I tried to use VCDGear to conver the dat to mpg, but when I open the converted mpg into TMP, TMP just hangs. Any ideas would be appreciated.thanks!

If it is from a VCD, just rename as .mpg, as they are just plain mpeg files.
